Annual Passes.

AS an example of unadulterated cheek
can be cited this exploit of Minneapolis
attorney few days ago: he had carried a
pass on the Manitoba road, which had run
out with the old year, and so when he came
down to st. Paul it cost him so cents in
cash. He called on j. j. Hill. president of
the great corporation, and with whom he
was slightly acquainted, and sent in his
card. AS he entered the Office Mr.. Hill
asked, what is it?"
"D-n you, you owe me 80 cents" was the
reply of the attorney, who was well acquainted
with Mr.. Hill.
'.How's that?' asked the president of the
Manitoba.
my pass run out and had to pay my fare
down here, replied the attorney.
Mr.. Hill laughed and replied: ''Well, I'll
pay it," and he proceeded to write the gentle
man an annual pass, emitting, however, to
hand over the 80 cents.

Speaking Of railroad passes. young man
accustomed to travel on a pass visited one
of the general offices about Jan. 8 to get it
renewed. He found whole room full of
people waiting, apparently, for the same
purpose. On making known his errand to
the railroad official, that gentleman replied:
"Oh. yes, certainly. Sit down, 1 have
only got three clerks writing passes, and
they are little behind"

A Check for S14,OOO,OOO.

The biggest check ever drawn in the
United States was that given by John
D. Taylor, now dead, but then Treas
urer of the Pennsylvania Railroad, to
Lee, Higginson g. Co., of Boston, in
payment for the Boston stock in the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Road. About ten millions of it
was owned in Boston. Nathaniel Thayer
was the largest stakeholder, and he
had agreed to deliver to Jay Gould
enough to give him controlling inter-
est, and enable HIM to bring the road
into harmony with the Jersey Central,
and then dispose of the two as he
thought best. But Mr.. Thayer was in
bis old age, and he was unable to full
fill the contract. Enough got out to
put the Pennsylvania people on their
guard, and their representatives met
the Boston bankers in this city, and
never adjourned until the papers were
drawn up by which they agreed to de-
liver a majority of the stock in the road
at 140 on the dollar, which was about
10 per cent. more than they had ever
been able to sell it at, all the individual
stockholders being allowed to come
and sell their stock at that figure. They
brought it to the Boston bankers, and
on the 1st day of July the Boston party
received Mr.. Taylor's check on the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce of this city
for $14, 256, 440. This is believed to be
the largest check ever drawn in this
country. That enormous sum of money
was transferred from Philadelphia to
Boston through New York without
causing more than q ripple in the mar
ket, and yet if Treasurer Taylor had
been less thoughtful or sagacious he
would have caused str ngency in the
money market which would have Sc
riously affected all business. In the
first place, it was well known weeks in
advance that such q transfer was TO be
made, and the rate of exchange was
affected thereby. Three weeks before
the time came Mr. Taylor sent round
to the banks and the brokers and asked
them to send him any New York funds
that they had, thus enabling them to
save days interest, for he Immediate
ly gave them Philadelphia funds. The
Boston bankers reversed the operation,
and the New York banks took all the
Boston drafts that were offered. Thus
was sum of money almost az great as
the total of the Alabama award trans
ferred through New York from Phila-
delphia to Boston, and without touch
ing the money market perceptibly.-

A Paradise for Tramps.

The Karg gas well was discovered In
Findlay, Ohio, about fifty miles south
of Toledo, on Jan. 20, 1856. The gas
was conducted forty-eight feet above
the ground, through six-inch iron
pipe, and when lighted the flame rose
from twenty to thirty feet above the
pipe. 1t is difficult to exaggerate the
magnificent and impressive effect of
this burning well at night. The noise
of the escaping gas is like the roar of
Niagara. The whole town is brightly
illuminated by the light of the flame.
When 1 made my visit to the well,
one evening in February, 1886, snow
covered the ground to the depth of
three or four inches; but for distance
of two hundred yards in every direc-
ton, the heat of the flame had melted
the snow from the ground, and the
grass and weeds had grown two or
three inches in height. The crickets
also seemed to have mistaken the sea-
son of the year, for they were enliven-
ing the night with their cheerful song.
The neighborhood of the well was also
paradise for tramps. L noticed one
who lay soundly sleeping with his head
in barrel, and the rest of his body
projecting outward to receive the genial
warmth from the flame high up in the
air above Cold as it was all around,
he slept in perfect comfort upon the
turf and in the open air. There was
no danger of his suffering within that
charmed circle. Frederick Wright,
IN st. Nicholas.

SOUND is much increased by the
echoes in O closed vault. In cave OF
the Pantheon, the guide by striking the
flap of his great coat makes a noise like
the report of q cannon. The same
phenomenon is found in the Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky. In the cave OF
Smellin, near Viberg, in Finland, by
throwing in a live animal terrible noises
are heard. Pliny tells of similar cave
in Dalmatia where the falling of a stone
raised a perfect storm. Fingal's Cave,
in the Island of Staffa, presents an
other remarkable phenomenon. The
end of this cave is dark and gloomy,
and may be compared to the chancel of
a church, while the basaltic columns
may be likened to the organ pipes. At
the extremity of the grotto, and near
the level of the water. is O small open
ing whence come harmonious sounds
which are produced by the sea rising
and falling.

IL was nearly midnight in the queen
OF American watering places and moth
ing was going onl The millionaire
Kicked his heels peevishly against the
table and motioned to one of the wait
ers. They all scrambled forward Il
such haste that the Oldest one slipped
and almost fell. The great man smiled,
whereat wave of JOY passed over the
dusky group, and all but one retired
with teeth in full review. Who is un-
happy when millionaire smiles?
rs the champagne we'll iced ?" asked
the man of means good-naturedly.
1T is, indeed, sab. De las bottle
wuz froze dead hard"
Bring me some"
When the waiter porued il out it was
SO cold that it dribbled slowly into the
glass and sent up milk-white mist
almost as thick as the foam that raced
to the top of the glass, while the dew
gathered in beads on the bottle. The
millionaire smiled gently as he gaZed
at the champagne, and then he glanced
at the painting waiter.
Would you like to shiver, Thomas?'
he asked solemnly.
"Me, sab ?" said the waiter with a
chuckle. "Dere amt not'in in dis heah
wuld nd make me shivah t'night, sab
no'ndeedy."
20, yes, there is"
"'Squse me, sab, but I'm roastin, 1
am. N L don't b'lieve I'll evan be coli
again."
"Tll make you SILVER in two minutes
by the watch, or I'll give you $50"
"Go ahead, sah!"
Without more ado the millionaire
took the champagne bottle from the
others hand, turned it upside down,
thrust it calmly down the back of the
darky's neck and left it there, while
the champagne dripped gently down
the walters spine. Then, watch in
hand, he waited, while the loungers sat
up and the walters moved in from the
corridors with their eyes fairly starting
from their heads.
"Don' you shivah, you fool niggah !"
said the foremost of them in hoarse
whisper to Thomas. "F y do I'll kick
yo' head often y body, shuh. Y got a
chance f. ter pay me dem sewing doll
yahs now, an if y miss it I'll lam VI
will fer q fac"
Meanwhile the waiter stood there
with pursed lips, staring eyes, and
clinched fists. His head was bent for
ward and his legs spread apart, while
his breath came in mighty snorts. The
loungers were crowding around with
watches in their hands making bets rap
idly while the time wore slowly away.
Presently the millionaire shouted.
"One minutep
40, Lordy" moaned Thomas, in a
voice like the soulful roar of a cavern
by the sea, SIN a-goin', I'm a-goin'l"

There was an awful hush, the sound

less chattering, and Thomas stood
shaking like an aspen ieaf, with ono
eye turned appealingly on the seven
dollar man, while the other sought the
face of the millionaire. One after an
other the walters essayed the test, and
for two hours the Casino was the live
lest spot in America. Then the famous
millionaire climbed contentedly to the
seat of his cart and murmured as he
drove home in the moonlight: at

SICILY is the chief source of mama.
In that country the trees are cultivated
in plantations, and when about eight
years old they begin to yield. Cuts an
inch and half to two inches long are
made in the bark, cutting through to
the wood. One cut is made daily, be-
ginning near the bottom of the trunk,
with each succeeding cut about an inch
above the former one. The thick. sirup-
like juice exudes from the cuts and
hardens on the bark into white, spongy
flakes, which, when hard enough, are
removed and dried still further before
they are packed for commerce. 1t con-

The saving grace of the young Ameri-
can, says q wr ter in Harper's Bdzar,
is his respect for women. That is a n
cere national religion. A young Ameri-
can rarely passes lady on the staircase
of hotel without raising his hat, he
rises when she enters q room, and he
ass SITS her across muddy street.
Herein he is m les ahead of the young
Frenchman of the period
But in conventional breeding the
foreigner has the advantage. The young
Frenchman understands that he must
be polite to the mother before the
daughter. In this respect land the
blame is in the mothers who have not
commanded it) the young Amer. can is
often at fault in society, if not in the
street.
A card should rover be left by q
young gentleman for young lady
without also including one for her
mother. He should inquire for the elder
lady first, and il poss BILE the mother
should receive him. He should, if the
mother invite him to ball, show her
some attention; if she has reception
day, he should call on that day. He
should show her that he regards her as
the person of the house, nor should he
allow her to feel herself neglected at O
public ball where he has been dancing
with her daughter. In tn BIT of con-
vent onal good-breeding the American
young man of the period is very faulty.
A man who treats the parents of the
girl whom he likes with respect is apt
to have their assistance if he hopes to
win her. He must remember, of course,
that an Invita- on to call must always
come from the mother. Such at least
is the etiquette of New York society.

OK q recent trip through Tasmania,

party happened to visit the graveyard
at Launceston, and among the various
epitaphs discovered the following on a
slate-stone slab:

Lie the remains OF Mary Jones'
Her name was Lloyd it was not Jones;
But Jones was put TO rhyme with stones.
This was considered fairly good, but
on our return our host capped it. In
the early days of the colony a rich
merchants wife died. Anxious to pro-
vide her suitable monument, the be.
reaved husband sent far and wide for O
stonecutter, and by rare good luck
found one capable of reading. The
inscription was to begin with the verse,
"A virtuous woman is q crown to her
husband" The first five words went
on one line, leaving room for two more
letters. "Crown" could not be divided,
Abut there was another resource. TIC
the stone;cutter crown was "five bob,
so he promptly inserted the symbol
81, and the difficulty was surmounted.
